The first day back in the art studio was wonderful. I can't believe how much I missed being in that environment, how much more at peace I felt. Even more so than writing, though writing is in a very tight second.

It was warm today, almost spring-like. There is a storm blowing in now. High winds, lots of rain.

Of course, it's going to drop thirty degrees and snow in about five hours.

Perhaps that's why the following phrase is so commonly used in Ohio: "If you don't like the weather, wait a minute."
